Thanks for the suggestions Rich! We'll check those out and will let you know if we stumble upon any other good ones. Good description and photo, look for it as BOTD later this week! (Thurs.)
Another great show! I listened to your comments and posted my first description and beer photo. I'll be in Madison the first week of June and looking forward to hitting some great breweries. I was there last year and strongly suggest hitting the following 3 breweries: Karben4 (Fantasy Factory IPA), Vintage Brewing (Ginja Ninja a ginger ale) and Ale Asylum (Contorter Porter). My opinion of the best at each of those places. Enjoy the trip!
